Im expecting in September so I’m not quite into maternity clothes yet, but this is for when I am.
I’m normally a medium, do I buy a medium top when I’m 9 months pregnant, or do I go up to a large? I know how silly this sounds.

Your help is much appreciated.

I’m 29 weeks and already 2 cm dilated. When did you take maternity leave? Any suggestions as to when I should take mine, already being 2 cm dilated?
Yeah I am early to be 2cm dilated. I got an infection and ended up contracting. I’m not having contractions anymore but they said at anytime I could start again with him being head down and 2 cm. along.

I work at McDonald’s and they do not offer paid maternity leave. I was wondering how I can get money for the time I am unable to work after the birth of my child. I live in Pennsylvania and I have not been able to find any information on this.

I’m 6 1/2 weeks and I’ve had to go buy a few pairs of pants that are a size larger than what I normally wear – I also got pants that stretch so hopefully they’ll last a bit.

How far along were you when you had to buy your first piece of maternity clothing?

Or are they just required to let you have the time off? How long is maternity leave? Can you choose how long you want to be out for or is there a set amount of time? A lot of questions, I know, sorry. Tell me everything you know about this please:)
I live in California.

We found out today that my wife’s individual policy does not include maternity coverage. So we are on our own. I make a good salary and can afford the medical bills but if we could get any help in lowering the cost will we take it. I am sure anyone would. If there is anyone out there that has used an advocate like maternity plus I would like to hear from you and how much you were able to save on your bill. Thanks so much in advance.

My friend and her husband are having a baby. They both work, but they make $37,000 together and the Medicaid and WIC maximum income in our state is $30,000

Their employers do NOT offer medical insurance, and they currently have medical coverage that they bought on their own for $400 a month.

Problem is that their medical coverage does NOT include maternity and they can’t get any other medical coverage because the wife is already pregnant. They have no way of paying for OB costs, delivery, and hospital charges now!

What are citizens supposed to do in this situation?????
It’s not for me, I need the advice for my friend ASAP. What can they do when they state says they aren’t “poor” enough?

I have read that many people don’t need maternity clothes until 20 weeks. However, I am only 8 weeks and it is uncomfortable for me to sit in my regular pants. I wear a size 8, but have a pot belly to begin with. When is it too early to buy maternity pants? Will it look funny for me to wear them so early? I am a teacher and will be 13 weeks when I start work…I’m thinking I’ll just get work maternity clothes and start then.

I am 15 weeks pregnant and I am starting to show. I was wondering where I could find plus size maternity clothes. I live 60 miles north of Pittsburgh, PA and I was hoping people on hear will be able to help me find maternity clothes.
